21、he 1990s?A.20,000B.26,000C.30,000D.36,000答案:DThe death rate from influenza rose markedly in the 1990s, federal scientists reported. The explanation, they said, is that a greater proportion of the population is elderly and thus particularly susceptible to flu. There was an average of 36,000 flu death

22、s a year in the 1990s as compared to 20,000 a year in previous decades, the investigators, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Ninety percent of influenza deaths were in people 65 and older, said Dr. Keiji Fukuda, the prin

23、cipal researcher for the study. But Dr. Fukuda and his colleagues reported that the virus was especially deadly in people over 85, who might be up to 32 times more likely than those 65 to 69 to die from a flu infection. The researchers also concluded that there were large numbers of deaths among the

24、 elderly from another virus, respiratory syncytial virus, known as R. S. V. As many as 78 percent of the 11,000 people who died from R. S.V. each year were 65 and older, the researchers concluded. In an editorial accompanying the paper, Dr. David M. Morens of the National Institute of Allergy and In

25、fectious Diseases, said that many people who were particularly vulnerable to influenza did not get flu vaccines, the only method of preventing the disease. Many mistakenly believe that the vaccine, which is made from a killed virus, can give them the flu. Over the last few years, Dr. Fukuda said, ju

26、st 65 percent to 67 percent of people 65 and older were immunized. Even when they do get the vaccine, he added, it is less effective in the elderly than it is in younger people.

Dr. Fukuda and his colleagues reported that the virus was especially deadly in people overA.55B.65C.75D.85答案:D問題是“Dr. Fukuda和他的同事報道說，病毒對于多大年紀以上的人最為致命?”正確答案是“85歲”，其依據(jù)是“But Dr. Fukuda and his colleagues reported that the virus was especially d

29、eadly in people over 85”。容易混淆的是“65歲”，這是受感染最多的年齡段。7. According to the report, which of the following sentences is true?A.The only method of preventing the disease is to get flu vaccines.B.Dr. Morens was optimistic about the immediate future.C.As many as 87 percent of the 11,000 people who died from R

30、. S. V. each year were 65 and older.D.The vaccine, which is made from a killed virus, can give people the flu.答案:A問題是“根據(jù)報道，以下哪一句是正確的?”正確答案是“防止疾病的惟一辦法是注射感冒疫苗”，其依據(jù)是“get flu vaccines，the only method of preventing the disease.”。 (如需獲取本MP3聽力錄音請搜索標題名) 8.

34、ion. They dont. They spend their waking hours plotting ways to avoid it, and keep prices high. These days they use information technologies that give them intricate data on individual shoppers, and then present multiple prices to get each consumer to cough up the maximum he is willing to pay. The ai

42、njury suffered by Mr. Winter is the 19 of an act of God and they 20 him over $ 60,000 for saving his life. 1.A.heartB.liverC.brainD.nerves答案:A解析 根據(jù)下一個句子分析便可知是心臟病，故應選A。heart attack是心臟病的固定說法。2.A.systemB.shockC.deviceD.operation答案:B解析 根據(jù)普通常識應該知道此處要表達的意思是“電擊”，而且在文章的后半部分也出現(xiàn)了electric shock的表達方式，所以選B。在做完形填

43、空時，有些字詞一時不能確定選項，可以繼續(xù)看下文，有時會像此題一樣讀到相關(guān)暗示，另外讀懂全文的意思也有助于判斷個別句子的空格。3.A.destroyedB.disintegratedC.dismemberedD.damaged答案:D解析 destroy一般指“事物外形的毀壞”。B和C兩個選項是指“整體或組織到了支離破碎的程度”。根據(jù)上文的remarkable success，but可以推斷出不可能是B或C。4.A.peacefulB.unconsciousC.painfulD.harmless答案:C解析 通過前文可以知道出現(xiàn)了大腦損傷，以及妻子的death，還有句子did not want

44、to go through himself可以推斷出當時MrWinter的感受一定是痛苦的，所以答案自然是painful。5.A.not tryB.tryC.not to tryD.to try答案:C解析 這一段的最后兩個句子應對照起來考慮，從After she died。to save him but instead to let him die這句，便可以推斷出此處應該用否定形式。只有A和C兩個選項是否定形式，然而A選項在語法上不成立，所以正確答案應該為C。6.A.similarB.criticalC.seriousD.crucial答案:A解析 因為Mr. Winter是在用他妻子的病

45、來打個比方，所以正確答案選A。7.A.quicklyB.naturallyC.peacefullyD.comfortably答案:B解析 既然MrWinter要求醫(yī)生不要去搶救他，所以應該是讓他自然地死去(die naturally)，所以選B。8.A.caughtB.sufferedC.passedD.avoided答案:B解析 從句子heart attack which he so treated，and was rushed to St Francis hospital in Cincinnati可以推斷出Mr. Winter一定是病了。經(jīng)受某種病痛之苦，一般用suffer與疾病搭配，因

46、此答案選B。9.A.sawB.knewC.admittedD.nursed答案:C解析 從上下文理解，Mr. Winter進了醫(yī)院，肯定有醫(yī)生接納病人，所以答案為C。10.A.deadB.neglectedC.aliveD.revived答案:D解析 聯(lián)系上文.not to save him和to let him die naturally，便可以判斷答案是D revive，意思是“復活，蘇醒”。此處應理解為被搶救過來。11.A.conditionB.verdictC.preferenceD.wishes答案:D解析 因為是MrWinter事先請求他的醫(yī)生如果他發(fā)生和妻子類似的病情，不要搶救他

47、，所以答案應該是wishes。這里是說護士并不知道醫(yī)生尊重MrWinter的意愿不去搶救他。12.A.emergencyB.urgencyC.crucialD.immediacy答案:A解析1 emergency表示“緊急搶救、急診”等，這屬于固定搭配，所以答案自然為A。13.A.exceptB.butC.andD.instead答案:B解析 空格前后是兩句話，中間需要一個連詞。兩個句子的意思相反，所以要用一個轉(zhuǎn)折連詞，因此答案選B。14.A.had had toB.had toC.has had toD.has to答案:C解析 從過去發(fā)生并且一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的事情，一般用現(xiàn)在完成時來表達，另

48、外句中的since then也是現(xiàn)在完成時的時間標志，所以答案為C。15.A.paralysedB.authenticateC.intoxicatedD.deliberate答案:A解析 從意思上可以推測出答案。大腦經(jīng)過電擊后，由于神經(jīng)受損一般可以導致癱瘓(paralyzed)。B項authenticate意思是“證明(聲明、賬目等)為真”；C項intoxicated表示“喝醉的，興奮的”；D項deliberate的意思是“深思熟慮的，從容不迫的，故意的”等等。所以答案為A。16.A.littleB.muchC.someD.such答案:A解析 句子由though來引導，表示“讓步”，意思是“

49、盡管，雖然”，而且后半句是肯定句，所以此句可能是否定句。另外通過常識判斷，腦損傷是極不容易治好的，所以答案應該是A。17.A.struggleB.surviveC.stayD.endure答案:B解析 經(jīng)過一場災難以后能活下來，用survive表示“幸存”，所以答案為B。18.A.dislikesB.provesC.supportsD.disputes答案:D解析 后面的arguing一詞表示“醫(yī)院與MrWinter持相反的觀點”，所以不可能是答案B或C。對此事而言，也不是喜歡與不喜歡的問題，所以A也不合適。而D項 dispute的意思是“對持異議，爭論、爭執(zhí)的”，用在此處合情合理。19.A.

50、subsequenceB.influenceC.punishmentD.consequence答案:D解析 聯(lián)系上下文可以推斷出，這句話是醫(yī)院方面在試圖辯解造成Mr. Winter腦損傷這一后果另有原因，此外文章接近尾聲，是在一件事情發(fā)生后對此事的分析說明，因此答案為D項consequence，意思是“結(jié)果、后果”。20.A.donatedB.chargedC.lentD.spared答案:B解析 四個答案都可以與money搭配使用。但是這里明顯是醫(yī)院方面對此事推卸責任，就不可能捐獻給MrWinter錢(donate)，或者省下錢(spare)，也不可能借給他錢 (lend)，自然是要向他收取

51、醫(yī)療費用，因此答案自然為charge，表示“收取費用”。Section Reading ComprehensionPart APassage 1 Lacking a cure for AIDS, society must offer education, not only by public pronouncement but in classrooms.

55、d, easily accepted or highly controversial, must be put in order if the nation is to manage AIDS. Scholars have suggested that how a society deals with the threat of AIDS describes the extent to which that society has the right to call itself civilized. AIDS, then, is woven into the tapestry of modem society; in the course of explaining that tapestry, a teacher realizes that AIDS may bring about changes of historic proportions. Democracy obliges its educational system to prepare students to b
